KTPC-C Series Fully Automatic Wine Capsule Machine

The KTPC-C wine capsule machine can be configured to produce capsules from PVC, PET, and Polylaminate materials. Different materials require corresponding Production Kits, cutting tools, glue formulations, and processing settings. The machine configuration can therefore be selected according to the customer’s current products and future production requirements.

The three versions are designed for different production requirements.

The Economy Model focuses on essential capsule production functions and is suitable for customers entering the capsule production business or mainly producing standard PVC capsules.

The Standard Model provides greater configuration flexibility, more optional functional stations, and higher production capability for customers requiring higher-quality and more diversified capsule production.

The Professional Model is designed for customers requiring a more complete production solution, including PVC and Polylaminate production capability and more advanced functional configurations.

Yes. The KTPC-C Wine Capsule Machine can be configured for both PVC and Polylaminate capsule production.

However, because the two materials have different thicknesses and processing characteristics, corresponding Production Kits and tooling are required. These may include different mandrels, skirt cutting tools, top disc punching tools, glue systems, and other material-specific components.

The correct configuration depends mainly on your capsule material, dimensions, opening method, decoration requirements, production speed, and expected product quality.

We recommend providing existing capsule samples or drawings together with your required functions. KETE can then evaluate the product and recommend the appropriate machine version, Production Kit, and optional stations.

The KTPC-C can produce different capsule diameters, heights, taper angles, and top disc sizes within the machine’s applicable production range.

Because capsule dimensions directly affect the mandrels, cutting tools, forming components, and some functional stations, we recommend providing a capsule drawing or physical sample for technical confirmation before ordering.

This depends on which dimensions are changed.

For a typical size change, corresponding tooling may include the mandrels, skirt cutting knife, top disc punching tool, and other size-related forming parts.

If only certain capsule dimensions change, not every component necessarily needs to be replaced. KETE can determine the required change parts according to the customer’s capsule specifications.

Changeover time depends on the difference between the two capsule specifications and the number of tooling components that need to be changed.

A simple product change requires less adjustment, while changing the capsule diameter, height, taper, top disc size, or special opening functions may require additional tooling replacement and machine adjustment.

For customers producing multiple specifications regularly, KETE can optimize the Production Kit configuration to make routine changeovers more efficient.

Yes. The modular design of the KTPC-C allows different capsule designs to be produced by changing the corresponding tooling and selecting the required functional stations.

Different products can use different opening methods, perforation patterns, tear-off tapes, hot stamping designs, top decoration processes, and other customized functions.

The exact production capability depends on the selected machine configuration.

The KTPC-C Wine Capsule Machine provides multiple opening solutions for different capsule materials and product designs.

Available solutions include vertical perforation, vertical tear-off tape, C-Cut opening, horizontal perforation, horizontal tear-off tape with aluminum tongue, and combined horizontal and vertical perforation patterns.

Customized opening patterns such as T-shaped and inverted trapezoid perforation can also be produced with the appropriate configuration.

Vertical Continuous Perforation uses a pneumatic double-blade circular knife to continuously roll two perforation lines onto the material. It has a relatively simple structure, but the distance between the two perforation lines is fixed. Because finished capsules are tapered, the perforation lines may appear inclined on capsules with a larger taper.

Vertical Interrupted Perforation uses two independent straight perforation blades. The blade angle and distance between the two perforation lines can be adjusted, allowing the perforation lines to appear straighter and more vertical on the finished capsule.

However, when the capsule height changes, corresponding perforation blades may need to be replaced, resulting in higher tooling and changeover costs.

Yes. The KTPC-C can be equipped with a Horizontal Tear-Off Tape with Aluminum Tongue Station.

The system can combine tear-off tape and aluminum tongue materials in-line or process pre-assembled tear-off tape with aluminum tongue. The aluminum tongue color can also be selected to match the capsule design.

The station can additionally include aluminum tongue trimming and notching functions. With a customized 90-degree rotation mechanism, it can also be configured for vertical tear-off tape with aluminum tongue applications.

For the capsule skirt, customers can use pre-printed material produced by gravure, flexographic, or digital printing, or configure the KTPC-C with 1-color, 2-color, or 3-color skirt hot stamping for logos, company names, text, and decorative patterns.

For the capsule top, available processes depend on the top material and can include embossing, hot stamping, printing, soft raised printing, hard raised printing, and raised printing combined with in-line printing.

The appropriate decoration process can be selected according to the required capsule appearance and quality level.

The KTPC-C has a mechanical speed of up to 160 capsules/min.

Recommended production speed depends on the machine version, capsule material, product dimensions, and installed functions. Typical production ranges are approximately:

• Economy Model: 100–130 capsules/min
• Standard Model: 120–150 capsules/min
• Professional Model: 120–150 capsules/min

Actual stable production speed should always be evaluated according to the specific capsule design and processing requirements.

Yes. Pre-printed roll material can be produced in advance by rotogravure printing, flexographic printing, or digital printing and then used directly on the KTPC-C for capsule forming.

This solution is particularly suitable for capsule designs requiring complex graphics, multiple colors, gradients, or other decoration effects that are not suitable for in-line hot stamping.

The machine can be equipped with a Skirt Print Mark Sensor Station.

A photoelectric sensor detects the print mark on the pre-printed material, and the system controls the material position according to the detected mark to maintain accurate alignment between the printed pattern and the capsule forming position.

This helps maintain consistent decoration positioning during continuous production.

The KTPC-C Wine Capsule Machine can use several functions to improve material utilization and reduce unnecessary waste.

For example, the unwinding system can be configured with EPC web guiding, in-line edge trimming, material break detection, and automatic stop functions. EPC helps maintain a consistent material position after roll changes, while material break detection automatically stops the machine if the material breaks or runs out.

The unwinding system also supports forward and reverse material feeding, providing greater flexibility when the printed side or winding direction of the material is different.

To recommend the correct KTPC-C configuration, we normally need information about:

capsule material, material thickness, capsule diameter, capsule height, taper, top disc diameter and material, opening method, decoration requirements, expected production speed, and required production capacity.

Existing capsule samples, material samples, drawings, photos, or videos are particularly useful.

The more complete the product information, the more accurately we can determine the required machine configuration and Production Kit.

Yes. KETE can provide machine installation, commissioning, and operator training.

For the Professional Model, 5 days of on-site installation and commissioning service are included. If extended on-site service is required beyond the agreed service period, additional service charges may apply.

Service arrangements for other machine versions can be confirmed according to the final commercial agreement.

The standard Production Kit is configured according to the selected capsule material and product specification.

A typical Production Kit can include 13 standard mandrels (12 + 1 spare), skirt cutting tools, top disc punching tools, and other corresponding production tooling.

PVC and Polylaminate require different tooling. For a machine configured for both materials, separate Production Kits can be supplied according to the final machine configuration.

Consumable parts and recommended spare parts can also be prepared according to the customer’s production requirements.

Yes. This is one of the recommended ways to configure a KTPC-C.

Customers can send existing capsule samples and, where possible, the corresponding material samples to KETE. Our technical team can evaluate the capsule structure, dimensions, material, opening method, perforation design, tear-off tape, aluminum tongue, skirt decoration, top decoration, and other production requirements.

Based on this evaluation, we can recommend or customize the corresponding machine configuration and Production Kit to reproduce the required capsule design.
